Slow upstream since 200 to 350 VOLT upgrade

pjayuk
Dialled in

Since my upgrade from 200 to 350 as part of the VOLT benefits my upstream speed has intermittently dropped from 36 mbps to around 5 mbps with QAM dropping to 16 on three or four channels. Downstream is rock solid. Prior to the ‘upgrade’ both upstream and downstream were rock solid.

Upstream went off a cliff at about 0940 this morning:

You need to setup a BQM to see what your circuit is doing during those hours.  I also noticed some PostRS errors showing.  Keep an eye on those as they should be zero, and rising numbers are usually a sign of noise ingress in the circuit.

The BQM setup is here www.thinkbroadband.com/ping

Hi @pjayuk

 

Thanks for providing me those details. On running those tests, it states there is a provisioning issue. I've therefore sent some signals to the router to see if this resolves it. Please can you unplug your router for me, leave it 5 minutes and then plug it back in? 

 

Let me know when done that so I can check things my side.
